Adoptable Mindy is doing amazing in her foster home! She loves to go on adventures around town or snuggle up with her foster parents. She is house trained, good with other dogs, and TBD on the resident cat 😻 The shelter had Mindy listed as 8 years old but we all agree she is probably more like 5-6 years. She’s a great size at 50ish lbs and is currently doing great in an apartment setting! Mindy came from South LA where her heroes advocated for her rescue (and even connected us with her amazing foster mama). It’s time for Mindy to have the happily ever after she deserves!

Eleanor

The sweetest smoosh on three legs, Eleanor Moonglade, is FINALLY ready to find her forever home. She is getting spayed next week and then she can head off to her happily ever after 🥹❤️‍🩹 Eleanor was urgent at Riverside after being found in abhorrent conditions. Her leg was mangled beyond repair and she had clearly been living like that for some time 💔 Riverside took care of her amputation but we knew she needed to get out ASAP. Our wonderful friends at @sandiegoanimalsanctuary picked her up for us and gave so much love until we could bring her in. Well, since then she has learned to trust, gained a lot of weight, has shown she can easily navigate any adventure on three legs, and has done wonderfully with other dogs. She is truly a magical creature and we know anyone would be lucky to have her 🥹 Eleanor is house trained (with regular potty breaks), crate trained, about 2 years old, and 45 lbs. Apply to adopt Eleanor today!

Looking for a lovable running buddy who is potty-trained, crate trained, and dog/kid friendly?? Look no further! Adoptable Althea is only about 1-1.15 years old. She is absolutely stunning white with brown brindle patches. This mixed breed gal will have you thinking of kangaroos as she bounds around the yard. No yard? No problem! Althea would be an AMAZING running buddy who can keep up with the best of them. This girl was rescued in the nick of time from euthanasia at Riverside. She would do well in just about any home provided she gets enough exercise! Though she may be a little too bouncy for the youngest joeys out there, she would do great with dog savvy and/or older kiddos. 

Hi! My name is Seattle. I am the most energetic (and most fun!)  pocket pittie that there is. Once a shelter volunteers favorite, I was rescued at the eleventh hour and am now my foster parents fave too! We live in a house with a senior dog and bunch of cats and a backyard— where I love to perform my catch tricks, chase the hose and do zoomies all day long. I’m active, sweet as a pie, pretty smart and learn commands very fast. I can also solve doggy puzzles. Best of all, I’m crate trained and walk well on the leash (although I can get excited sometimes!) I love hiking and anything outdoors. I do well (while still kept on leash) around other dogs. I’m full of life and quite a character. My foster parents think I’m a hoot!!! Oh and one last thing, food is my favorite thing! So make sure you got some delicious treats because I’m gonna love you even more.

Maude is an absolute sweetheart of a dog. She is very gentle and very sweet, but can be timid with people. She definitely gains her confidence from other dogs and is very nurturing and sweet with them. Maude seems to be house trained, has done well in a crate, is relaively low maintence, and just needs someone to love her forever. This girl is really special and she deserves the best, most loving home. We don't know anything about Maude's history, but given her timidity with people it seems like she has not been shown much kindness until recently. She doesn't have a mean bone in her body. 

Sweet Josephine (fka Shelly from Riverside) is about 3 years old, 70 lbs, and is all love! She is one of the sweetest lowriders out there! Josephine is the queen of the pibble nibbles, loves to be loved, and is great with all dogs. She is a pretty mellow girl who would be happy to join you doing just about anything! Josephine has personality pouring out of every fiber of her being. She is as sweet as she is adorable. She still needs some work on house training, but crate training has proved helpful in getting her into a good routine!

Adoptable Dino and his wubba - a love story. Dino is doing so well in his foster home but it’s time for his forever home! He is CAT FRIENDLY, dog friendly, about 5 years old, and handsome as ever. Dino has come a long way since his time in the shelter and we’d love to see him get his happy ending! He is a really great dog, loves to play, loves to snuggle, and lives for attention from his humans. Did we mention he LOVES cats??? He follows his kitty foster brother everywhere. 

Adoptable Gomez is one of the sweetest puppies we’ve met! He is about 5-6 months old, has a BEAUTIFUL brindle-ish coat, and is just a bundle of love. Gomez was on the urgent list at Riverside a few weeks ago simply for having an upper respiratory infection! We still want to give him another week before getting him neutered - just to make sure he is totally recovered from his URI. But this little pup is ready to find a long term foster or adoptive family 💗Gomez was listed at the shelter as a French bulldog mix and we actually think he probably does have some Frenchie - he has a cute little underbite and Frenchie ears 💗🥹 But he’s definitely mixed with some other things. He will be a medium sized dog as he’s only about 20 lbs at nearly 6 months old. Gomez loves other dogs, and is on the submissive side. He has done well with house training and crate training, but like any puppy will require some time and routine to get things down perfectly. 

Apple (fka Fiona from @sdhumanesociety) is settling in so nicely at her foster homea🥹💗 Apple is just the most bubbly and playful little frenchie! She arrived at San Diego Humane with a rectal prolapse. The medical staff took great care of her and she had a coloplexy repair. She is now doing great! We believe Apple is about 4 years old and she’s just the sweetst snuggle bug around! How could anyone resist this face?! She is great with other dogs, kids, and probably would do fine with cats! She's an all around great girl.

Remy (formerly Chato of East Valley Shelter in Los Angeles) is a big sweetheart. He was terribly frightened during his time at the shelter and has been so happy to be living in his wonderful foster home. He has an adorably big overbite and a very slight cleft palate, both of which add to his charm. Remy does well with large and small dogs, and has been learning basic training with his foster mom - where he has proven to be a quick learner! Remy loves to play as much as he loves to snuggle on the sofa. Do you have some extra room for this hunk in your heart? 


The Fantastic Beasts are ready for their forever homes! These puppies were born late May 2023. They were rescued with their mama (Dobby) from deplorable conditions at a shelter that was shut down by authorities in Mexico. The rescue effort was coordinated by The Animal Pad and we are very grateful to have helped in a small way. Hedwig is the an adorable and sweet little gal. She is plafyul, confident, and a lovebug. We expect she will be between 20-30 lbs when she is full grown.

Wren

Sweet Wren is finally ready to start looking for her forever home!! Wren came to us from Harbor Shelter where she was very scared and given the name “Skitzee” 💔. One of the kennel staff worked diligently to gain her trust and truly helped get her on the road to recovery. Wren is very shy with people at first but WONDERFUL with other dogs. So we will insist that she go to a home with another pup as it really brings her happiness and confidence. When Wren first got here, she didnt even want to be touched and now she solicits pets all the time 😍 She will need an experienced adopter who will give her lots of time and patience to blossom 🌸 We promise she is worth it ❤️‍🩹 Wren is about 2 years old, 40ish lbs, and ready for her forever! Apply to adopt petite Wren today! 

Adoptable Ezra is about 18 months old and truly couldn't look more like a Muppet if he tried. He is so stinking cute, playful, and obviously adorable. Ezra is very dog friendly and knows some basic commands (if you have a treat handy). He is house trained and does well crated! Ezra is full of love and life. He would make a great family dog. He came to Mad Mutts from San Diego County Animal Care where he was a "dog tester dog" - meaning he pretty much gets along with everyone! 

Nadine is an absolute delight of a dog! She is about 2-3 years old, has the happiest wiggle butt in the world, and lavishes in attention from humans. Nadine is a perfect pocket pitty, at just about 40-45 lbs but very compact. She has beautiful markings to match her beautiful personality. Nadine is great with other dogs and humans of all ages. She would be a great addition to any pack. 

Wilt is best described as a giant puppy - in the best way possible. He is about 3 years old and while he doesn't have puppy energy, he does have an infectious playfulness that cannot help but bring a smile to your face. Wilt is good with other dogs and humans of all ages. He can be a little jealous when he isn't getting all the pets, but he is easily redirected. All he wants is to make his humans happy. Wilt is about 70 lbs and on the taller side. He sort of looks like a mini great Dane. This bully breed boy is sure to bring a lot of love and levity to your life.
